Capt. Scott, Admiral of the Canadian
oavy and commander of the cruiser
Acadia, has completed his arrangements
to keep United States fishermen out OF
Canadian waters. The navy has been
increased, the vessels have been provid-
ed with heavy guns, and the sailors are
being drilled two hours daily. The pre-
cautions are unnecessary. The United
Statee could not back up her fishermen il
she wished to do 30. Her navy would
sink before it could reach Canadian wa.
ters. The only hope OF the fishermen is
to depend upon the warlike citizens of
Gloucester, Mass. ItCapt. Scott becomes
too bold in his operations, the Gloucester
citizens will doubtless take great pleas
ure in hanging him in Ky again.

LITTLE JIM'S GRIEF.
Crushed Because His pants Are Mostly
Cows Wool"

Crushed Because His pants Are Mostly
Cows Wool"
Little Jim is in great trouble, SAYS tho
Boston Record. He tries to throw off his
grief, but he can't succeed. Poor little
Jim! When he grows old and sensible
yes, even when he becomes middle ged
and philosophical will look back at his
grief as u very little thing. But now Jim's
sorrow and shame and humiliation of
spirits are such bitter realities to him that
anybody who was ever really a child
can't help feeling sympathy for him,
mingled with the mirth which any charit-
able soul would disguise when in Jim's
detected presence.
1t is all about his trousers. Jim has got
into garments which he thinks are trou-
sers, and has been holding up his head
with a consciousness of citizenship that
no petticoated small boy is capable of ex-
periencing. The trousers had been the
pride of Jim's life, the delight of his
heart, the outward and visible sign of an
inward grace that the historian has not
the heart to attempt setting forth in
words that Jim couldn't understand even
if they were read to him. They are very
little things, those breaches, a bit of cloth
sewed up, and they stop at Jim's knees,
where his newest stockings yawn into the
widest possible holes on half-day's trial.
But Jim has not seemed to mind the small
ness of his garments any more than the
lack of inches natural to a five-year-old.
He has been radiantly happy, but now he
is wretched. For Davy who lives next
door-oh, impish, jealous, iconoclas-
tic Davy! HAS told Jim that
his trousers are not made of lambs wool.
Davy has tainted Jim of it, and Jim has
not been able to defend himself, for it had
never entered his mind even to wonder OF
what sort of stuff trousers are made or
ought to be made. But the heighth Of
perplexty and shame came to him yester-
day, when, fortified by maternal assur-
ance and heartened up bit by maternal
caresses, he boldly met his tormentor in
the yard and said:
"You Davy! My pants are lambs
wool, too, and you've just got to stop say
ing they're not. My papa says they are"
Davy looked Jim over with the superb
GRITTY of boy who had attained to stand
up-collars and bibless lunches; then he
said slowly and crushingly, so crushingly
that Jim has not been able TO rally gem
uine light since the blow fell:
"Pohl P'r'aps they are part lamb's
wool but not all, like mine. Jim, your
pants are mostly cows woolv

Outside the walls of Jerusalem a new
town has sprung up,a building club having
been established few years ago, under
the operation of which one hundred and
thirty houses were erected in four years
by the Jews; whilst along the Jaffa road
many country villas have been erected Of
late by European residents as summer
abodes. The latest development of the
building of new houses without Jerusalem
is to be found IN the enterprise which has
led to much building being done on the
slopes of the Mount of Olives, the summit
of which is crowned with the Church Of
Ascension.

What 1t Means.

To the man or woman who has never
been i'll, the word "health" is meaning
less. But TO the one who has suffered and

boon. To the thousands of unfortunate

the many forms Of weaknesses or irregu-
larities peculiar to their sex, DIR. Pierce's
Favorite Prescription holds forth tho
promise of a speedy restoration of this
priceless boon.n
